[Rt4-whois] Proposed agenda for tomorrow's meeting - third task

[Kathy Kleiman]

Hi All,
In response to Emily's excellent agenda and outline, let me share that a third task, a narrow one, that I think should be added to the list.

Per Emily's outline, Section 1:

"We need to undertake two tasks now to complete this section:

1.      identify "legitimate needs of law enforcement"

2.      identify "what factors promote consumer trust in the context of WHOIS"

I agree and add a third:

3.       Identify "applicable laws."

As presented at our Wednesday Public Forum session by a man at the microphone, and as defined in our applicable laws definition, there is a narrow set of laws that fall squarely within those the AoC is urging us to consider. As I reread ICANN Whois documents, including GAC Communiqués and GNSO reports over the years, there is as a repeating call across the years for ICANN to better know and review key data protection and privacy laws.

This seems a fixed and narrow task - the type of short research project we projected to ICANN early on -- one for a professor and research assistant. It seems an appropriate compliment to the two areas above.

Best,
Kathy

Dear all

I've just returned from a few days away, and have been catching up on discussions on the list.

Peter - thank you for your suggestion of an issues paper.  I think this may be a good opportunity to side-step the difficulties we have discussed (and financial implications) relating to formal questionnaires, and I would be grateful if you would introduce this topic on our next call.

I'm aware that the consumer trust subteam, prompted by Sarmad, has continued to work through the issues, and I'd like Sarmad to brief the RT on progress, and a proposed way forward.

I would also like us to spend some quality time discussing the draft report outline which I circulated on the list on 22 March, on which there has so far been little comment.

Another thing we need to do is plan our time in Singapore carefully.  Peter has suggested a session with law enforcement, and we need to think through (1) whether we would find this helpful (2) how to get the most out of such a session and (3) what other stakeholders should participate?

So, I attach a draft agenda for your comments, and also a copy of the draft report outline.

Kind regards

Emily
